Of course Mom is more scared.My mom tells of how my brother started kindergarten (at age 4, and no one went to pre-school in those days, so it truly was his 1st school) and he wouldn't let her even walk him up to the school door.She cried. He didn't.

I dropped mine off today, Jack and my husband were fine, I was fighting back the tears and fears the whole time. I have been on the toilet alot the past couple of days, yep those nerves have gotten the best of me.

Ugh! I know what this is like! George started full-day kindergarten last year and my blubbery sobbing tears took me by surprise. So speaking from experience - I can say for certain: 1) Just go ahead and cry it all out. You will feel so much better after. 2) You will get used to the (fabulous) school-day hours/time to yourself pretty fast! 3) He will always be your baby. Even when he's 30.

It's a big rite of passage for the both of you for sure. I long for the day to be taking my little ones to their first day of school ever because that would mean I don't have a 12 and 9 year old. Waaaaaaah! They're getting too big!

When I picked up my daughter after the first day of kindergarten she looked at me very seriously and said, "So tomorrow do I do first grade?" Which made me realize that she was ready for almost anything. Hope the first day goes really well. And a HUGE thank you for supporting my film. I am eternally grateful.
